Update Marion 24/7 insider!

I could post something from my dead grandmother, and it would have more followers than Terminator5.
it from the 24/7 "insiders" he just quoted it. I cant read the whole thing obviously. Several posters made the comment hes going there. Accurate or not. Marion is gone. IMO. It going to be real interesting to see who our OC is going to be next year. WHO ELSE LEAVES?? Almost all of our coaches are going to get a nice pay raises ! Either with us or someone else.
What are the chances that we can keep Shibest (spelling)? Special teams has been a huge asset for us and I'm sure others programs have taken notice.
Somehow I don’t see the GoGo offense being a Wisconsin thing. The Big plays smash mouth football
They are still in the belief that “only three things can happen when you pass the ball, and two of them aren’t good.”
I’d be shocked if he even interviews there.
I’m in a Facebook group called Terminator Lava Factory.
It’s just memes of Sarah Connor getting railed from behind from the first movie.
I think that's where people misunderstand the offense a little.
Wisconsin has always been a run heavy program.
UNLV is a top 10 rushing offense. Marion has actually used a FB/HB a lot this year. That's as smash mouth as it gets no?
It's a downhill rushing attack. There's just a lot of window dressing with multiple sets. But at its core it's a run heavy offense out of some spread formation looks.
If it were more of a run and shoot offense I would 100% agree probably not suited for the BIG.
Yes. Want to know something wild? Shibest took a massive pay cut in earning potential coming to UNLV.
Not kidding. His base salary his last year at Virginia tech was $475k with a maximum benefit of 80k for bonuses. He’s making $310k W/ 25k for bonuses at UNLV.
While he did get released when Justin Fuente got fired, he could have commanded a higher salary at another conference.
You will find across the board most of the more senior assistants took a paycut, or less than their own fair market value to be with Odom.

Want to know another thing wild? Odom was making more as an assistant (base salary only) at Arkansas than he is as HC at UNLV.
$1.85m vs $1.785m
No, I don’t think its a negligible difference. I doubt his work load decreased. He’ll end up making more because of bonuses at UNLV than at Arkansas. But the reality is he’s making $500k less than he did during his first year as a HC at Missouri. We need to find a way to pay him.

End of this season new contract if not he won’t be around long.
Let’s make Odom the highest paid coach ever for the state of NV.
He should command what ever Michigan offers. The tax payers will foot it. Goes to the BOR and he does not turn it down.

Person reporting that has zero credibility.
If that happened it was in 30 seconds since Utah went ALL IN on Arbuckle and swung out a couple hours ago. No one wants that OC job.
The timeline checks out. I just know the person reporting it doesn’t actually have sources and is a known criminal so I wouldn’t take anything they report seriously.
I have family in the Athletic Department at Utah. The morons didn't even have a plan B after Arbuckle.
Yeah I was never worried about the reports of Arbuckle to Utah if OU wanted him badly enough. The money isn’t close and let’s be real, coaching in the SEC is far more attractive than the current Big12 or whatever they want to call themselves. Even with Venables entering 2025 on the hot seat.
Many thought the powers that be were going to withhold the necessary funding for a heavily sought after coordinator. Venables is not well received in Oklahoma.
I haven’t heard that he’s not well received but I have heard a few of the BMD families have lost faith in his coaching ability and were reluctant to give him another try. Sounds like they were unwilling to go down the hundred million dollar overhaul of firing the whole staff and bringing in a new staff and will settle for drastically improving their current NIL structure to hopefully attract better talent. I unfortunately think Marion and Odom are likely gone after we finish our playoff run.
Marion definitely. Still not sold on Odom just dumping us to go get a pay day because some P4 school said so.
Agree on this take. Odom has already done the SEC HC thing so I don’t think he’s going to jump at just any job that becomes available. I think he’s going to be very selective on where/when/if he goes. Of course, this is without any knowledge whatsoever and family dynamics and whether or not they are happy here. I do think that if Odom goes to a P4 job, that it’s entirely possible that Marion follows him unless he gets a HC job.
I doubt it would be all about the money but if a SEC or BIG school comes calling it’d be hard for him to not try and give it one more go while he’s relatively young. Wouldn’t blame him one bit either. I think we’ve shown enough that we’d be able to attract a decent HC now that it’s been shown you can win here.
In the offseason I was of the opinion Odom wouldn't jump at just any P4 job. I still am.
But with what Cignetti did at IU....Which I think most of us would consider a middling at best P4 job is/was impressive..
So it does make me consider more P4 jobs as 'possible' vs 'why would he' than before.

Picking out a home in West Virginia.
They were in such lengthy talks they hired Gus Malzahn right after his tweet. People will throw anything out there hoping to be right.
Was in Arkansas with the son. Not sure if theyre moving back to be on campus for spring ball or if he will stay through graduation...
If they aren't, they should. Tremendous opportunity for Marion, and another way to showcase the gospel of GoGo. With that said Odom will find not just another person, but the right person. Remember, Marion was his back up hire. I do wonder how different things would have been under Petrino. But I do think Petrino would have bolted last year, even if he did stick around.
Things definitely worked out for the best. UCLA fired Bienemy maybe him? Is he going to a large school after that not so sure.
He's not taking it. There's zero evidence to back this claim up and i haven't heard this anywhere but in that account. He's not leaving UNLV for a lateral move. Only way he leaves is for a HC job. I remember there being talk of this last year that he really wants a HC job. We knew after this year both coaches names are going to be floating around with every single open position that comes out.
You think OC from UNLV to OC at Okie State is a lateral move?
